Recently, Allied has been quietly merging carbon expertise and bike design with a shared love of mountain biking. The brand first entered the world of mountain bikes in 2022 with the BC40, a wicked-fast, super-lightweight XC bike, and this foray (un)paved the way for the FITZ. This 140mm trail bike with obvious cross-country influence, but in a way that doesn't bleed into downcountry territory; instead, it very much leans into what we all love about this category of mountain bike: Versatility, capability, and maneuverability.
